During the summer months when temperatures were extreme, my car suddenly had that infamous orange triangle light up and a warning about the tire pressure. I had to avoid taking the freeway home and instead had to take a 30-minute long trek home along the streets. When I went to inspect my tires I saw several large bulges along the sides of multiple tires, especially the front two tires. I immediately took them to the nearest reputable tire shop and they told me that most likely a nail may have caused the issue, but they did not find a single nail nor any holes in the tire that may have been leaking out air. Repair process was difficult as the first tire shop I went to did not carry the tires my car comes with (apparently they are very hard to come across where I live) but offered to replace all tires with used ones for $70 and strongly recommended I get new ones as soon as possible. The second shop told me that I was lucky to spot the issue quickly and seek repair or else the car tires would have exploded while in motion. Whatever manufacturer stock tires Toyota is using should not even be approved at all. Why not use strong, sturdy tires from a reputable brand instead of settling for cheap ones? Since replacing the tires I have had no issues whatsoever.

I have a 2018 Camry xse, the tires that came with car has a lot of sidewall problems, within the last 5 months I had to replace 5 tires due to sidewall damage. Each time the damage will occur, with hitting a small pot hole, or a slight rubbing against the curb. The brand of tire are Bridgestone, turanza 235/40R19. I remember when Bridgestone and major problems with there tires which cause fatalities many years ago. So I'm wondering if the same practice is happening again

Three separate times in less than 20,000 miles, there was a bubble on the side of our tire which had to be replaced!!!! in 50 plus years of driving, we never had a bubble on the side of a tire, which needed each time to be replaced lest we have a blowout. The service manager during one of our replacements told us that the problem was caused by Toyota providing inadequate protection for the wheels. This is a dangerous situation which will lead to blowouts and deaths unless the NHTSA takes immediate action. The service manager, speaking confidentially. Told us that Toyota will fight this rather than spend $1200. Per tire casing to do the right thing. You must act before deaths occur from blowouts. Also, Toyota should reimburse for all tire bubbling!!

Left rear rim cracked, no tire damage or other wheel damage. Did not notice any major pothole while driving. Did not notice during any event, just the distortion of the rim when approaching the vehicle.

Sidewall damage happened very quickly tire deflated quickly indicator on dash illuminated. Pulled into a service station and tire was completely flat. Required road service to install spare because wife is a heart patient and cannot change tire. Luckily she was going through a town at under 40 mph. Picture attached of sidewall damage not sure if it looks defective or was a road hazard.

For a year and a half, my car has always refused to accelerate on time, often overcompensating and lunging forward, or undergoing a rolling sensation and accelerating. I had the same problem with the steering/tires twice in the past week and today as well. When making a turn and accelerating the car tires skid very loudly and the steering wheel moves on its own to the left and right. I almost went out of my lane because of this. Tires are fine and do not show excessive wear or damage.

While the vehicle was being driven at approximately 45mph on a highway in wet conditions, on a flat, smooth road surface, I heard a loud pop but there was not an impact to the performance of the vehicle. I continued to drive 1 mile to my destination and parked the vehicle. Approx. 30 minutes later I returned to my vehicle, backed out of the parking spot and noticed a change in the vehicles performance. I immediately stopped the vehicle to inspect the tires and the right front tire was flat. At the time of the occurrence, the mileage was approx 9,390K. I contacted road side assistance, they arrived & changed the tire and I will contact the dealership, team Toyota in glen mills, pa.

The tire when I was driving on the tire blew up and I went to Toyota service they refused to make report to the factory, but the lady refused and said to me that I hit a bot hole which is not true the tire blew up by its own, I attached the photo. I believe that's a factory problem and Toyota are responsible to check that problem. I was about to die. Thank god I was near the shoulder of the road and didn't hit anyone. The road is their and there are no botholes it's new baved road.

I had just exited a freeway, and was entering the surface streets via a stoplight. After turning onto the surface street, the signal ahead turned red. I attempted to apply the brakes in traffic while traveling at or less than 20 M.P.H., but the brakes did not respond as normal. I pushed the brake pedal down and the vehicle did not stop as normal. Instead, the pedal depressed further than normal, and I felt a heavy vibration feedback through the pedal. I was approximately 2-3 car lengths from the car in front of me, and I pumped the brakes and depressed the pedal as far as I could physically manage. At that point, the vehicle began to slow, but so gradually that I was certain to collide with the car in front of me. I then steered to the right (I was in the rightmost lane) toward the curb of the sidewalk. The front passenger wheel went up on the curb and the vehicle stopped. I put on the hazard signal, then when traffic cleared behind me, pulled into a gas station approximately 40 feet in front of me. When I steered back onto the roadway after initially stopping, the steering felt very loose, and I felt as though I was driving on ice or without control over the steering. Once in the gas station parking lot, I put the car in park, and turned off the engine. I examined the pedals for blockage and looked for fluid leaks, but found nothing. I started the vehicle and tested the gas and brakes in the empty parking area, and everything responded as normal. However, the front passenger tire has a tear in the sidewall and the rim is lightly damaged.

(hybrid mod) while traveling on an interstate in may, the rt rear tire blew out(odo 7,000). Seemed to be no reason, it just blew out. Then in July, again on an interstate, the lt rear tire blew(odo 12,000). Once again, no reason, just blew out. We we're told by Firestone that the tires on my vehicle have been discontinued & I can not do a warranty claim because I did not purchase the tires from them, Toyota did so Toyota has to do the claim. Toyota tells me they do not warranty tires, Firestone does & I have to go through firsetone for warranty claim. No one seems to want to address the fact that there are still 2 more tires (on the front) that could still blow out & cause me to have an accident. Dealer told me they couldn't help because I didn't keep the tires to show they were defective. The brakes have always been overly sensitive. The car then started braking (the collision safety feature) when there are no other vehicles, people, animals, etc in sight. It has happened on highways, city streets, straight roads, in curves, sunny days, rainy days, etc. The vehicle randomly decides to engage the braking safety system when it should not. All the dealer where I purchased the vehicle could offer as a suggestion was to turn that feature off! as if all that wasn't enough, while backing up & coming to a complete stop (but still in reverse) the car lunged back another foot or better causing me to collide with a basketball pole in my driveway. After that, when I pump fuel niw I have to hold the handle so it doesn't touch or lean against the bottom part of the neck hole. Otherwise, any fuel you try to put in it will flow right back out & run down the car to the ground. I have repeatedly asked dealer to deal with these issues & told them I don't feel like ithe vehicle is safe at this point. After months of run around & not returning my calls, dealer referred me to Toyota today.
